The location of this hotel, at a town centre crossroad, made entry to its car park difficult. There was plenty of space in the car park & we were able to park close top Reception.
No double rooms were available so we were given room-114 with two, well separated, single beds. The temperature outside was 27 degrees, and not much less in our room. A tiny, electrical air-fan was supplied, which we managed to prop up using a milk carton (a nut was missing from the bolt which held up the fan). My bed was OK, the two pillows hard.
The studio type room & en-suite looked 1975 and the electrical switches & points likewise. Our view was of a courtyard below & what seemed to be ugly flats opposite. The shower & bath worked and clean towels were supplied, together with shampoo, body scrub, shoe sponge & soap. The kettle worked and tea, chocolate, powdered coffee & biscuits were provided. The TV controller did not work, and had to be replaced.
The dinner menu was small, but we enjoyed our dinners & breakfasts here in the dining room. Flies, however, were a real problem. The high temperature caused the staff to open the dining room windows, resulting in flies entering whilst we ate.
We found Swaffham to be a pleasant country town and a good centre to explore Norfolk. less
